Do I need to create tax rules for gift wrap?

Depending on the state in which your business is registered, you may be required to collect tax on gift wrap when this option is selected for an order. Turbify does not have specific information regarding the tax rules you may need to set up for your store.

If you are unsure as to your state's requirements, contact your state's tax department. To locate your state tax department's web site, visit the Federation of Tax Administrators. Many states can offer advice to merchants around tax requirements.
